Tasmania's very own Hannah Gadsby has addressed Louis C.K.'s "path to redemption", telling the stand-up comedian to "stop feeling sorry for himself".
Gadsby, who is currently touring her new show Douglas internationally, made the comments in an interview with IndieWire, in which she told writer Jude Dry that while “there’s a clear path to redemption, he’s just not taking it.”
“And I think it’s important to keep making that joke. He has not reassessed his position of power, and that is why he was able to abuse it. It’s difficult to see a shift in your own power and privilege. It’s not something we’re trained to do."
She added: He still honestly thinks he’s the victim in all of this.”
Gadsby continued, telling IndieWire that C.K. "can stop feeling sorry for himself."
"He’s being self-indulgent and he’s being a cry baby," the Nanette star said.
"He’s being self-indulgent and he’s being a cry baby," the Nanette star said. "That’s not a path to redemption, that’s just throwing a tantrum for the tantrum itself."
“You can apply it to anyone,” she explained. “I just think there’s an issue at large, and it goes across all issues of representation. I think because we think about men as the default, they don’t know how to let other people talk about their experiences without centering themselves.
"And that runs deeper than two lonely comedians."
